If you run any intensive graphics apps (video editing, games) you need the Pro. I like the black 13" too, but it has only 64MB video RAM and no dedicated graphics processor. I want to see how well it will even play a DVD.

A good comparison chart for the whole line is here:

I wonder what the specs on the MacBook vs. the MacBook Pro will be. I have to admit, I'm kind os smitten with that black 13" MacBook announced yesterday. Apple has finally allowed the MacBooks to use desktop extension using an external monitor, something that was always a shortcoming with the iBook line (even though it could be done with 3rd part software). Anyway, with the MacBook I wonder do I need a MacBook pro?

I have a MacBook Pro, but why would you even deal with Boot Camp
when you
can juts run Windows or your fav distro of *nix in virtualization.

I'm using http://www.parallels.com/ to run XP on mine. If I have to
reboot
it's not worth it...
